Great fantasy world to be in...extravagant weddings with beautiful brides and gowns

i cried tears of angst and then tears of joy highly recommend

Sad, overweight, disfigured and overlooked, Ellen, helps out a blind stranger being robbed and her life improves with each act of bravery. This is a sweet book that has the happy endings for many of the characters. It made me happy!

I chose this book because a local group wants it banned from Mentor High School. I was curious to find what made it so offensive or objectionable. It is about two teenagers, and the father of one character, Neilly, has left his family to marry another man. So it is the secondary story of a gay relationship that puts it on the "banned" list. A great young adult book about two teens who face change and discover new strengths to create a new family.

Good!

Great book

This is actually the first in the Sea Shell Harbor series but I read book 2 first. Loved book 2 and while I did enjoy this first story, it fell a little flat for me. Maybe by the time Miranda Liasson reached the second in the series she knew more of the town and where she wanted to go with the characters but this first one felt one dimensional. The grandmother was my favorite character; Hadley and Tony both felt like 2 characters would cut off their nose to spite their face. Instead of ever looking for solutions they are determined to see only the obstacles.

I listened to the audiobook. Finally we learn more about Ranger. He has a surprising past and it

Not enough Serge in this book. Some hilarious entries, and the wit was there, but not as much as in some of the other books.
